HEY...watch it..some of my best friends are animals. I like them more than I like most people
That said...the best birth control is a high standard of living...if machines give people higher standards of living they tend to not make so many babies.
Lower population...lots of good things come from that..less strain on the infrastructure
I don't meant to be disrespectful regarding "animals". I was just referring to the Darwinian survival of the fittest in the wilderness. You are quite right, animals can be better friends than many people!
